Loading ...I didn’t have time to mention this before and now after two 20 hr shifts can hardly write. Your story which told of the encyclopedia sales brought back a memory. I was probaby the only surfer in those days that liked books. I used to check out as many books as I could carry on every subject the library could handle except spelling lol When the sales man came along I wanted that too. In those days they wanted credit and did a credit check. I didn’t do Dent so carried no credit cards. They told me I don’t have bad credit but I don’t have any credit because of it, no credit cards. So you mean if your not in debt and owe no money you can’t get them but if you do have debt you can. Go figure. That’s how I learned the value of debt. Turned out I’d go to garage sales and thrift stores looking for books. I even have a first edition of The Grapes of Wrath that way. There were others that would of been valuable including old magazines I couldn’t afford on my budget then as my focus was science or old recipes. As coincidence goes a little while later there was a full encyclopedia for sale on the cheap and no debt.
I guess that’s one thing you won’t see anymore due to the internet.
Sales is good experience learning to talk to people and helps in future business later. That’s one thing I’d pass on because I’d feel guilty of they wound up in debt over it. I wasn’t sales smart enough like you to think of higher end areas.
